Leaving Behind Your Legacy

After your life is
complete, what is the legacy you want to leave behind? Do you want a to leave a legacy that represents your TRUE
self? If you want to leave a legacy that is
of true value and that continues to be shared, then the answer is to
tithe with others. I am not talking about giving ten percent more
than what you are giving right now. I am referring to sharing the ten
percent of YOURSELF that makes YOU special. When we share our inner
ten percent with others, we pass that piece of ourselves on and can
help others move past a difficult time in their life.

Having a reflective mind and a willing spirit is the only
requirement for you to tithe. Ask yourself: How can I help? What part
of "me" can be help this person? Your tithe could come in
the form of a personal story or an experience. It matters because it is a part of you. Sometimes the
smallest things have the largest impact. Always remember that each of
us is special! Each of us has something to tithe.

We live in a busy world! Iphones, Computers, and the
bombardment of people by information can leave most people so
stressed that they feel like they are diagonally parked in a parallel
universe! To tithe, we need to take the time to connect on a personal
level. We need to get away from the distractions and meet others with
an open heart. Only seven percent of the words we use are important. The
other ninety three percent of a conversation comes from our facial
expressions, body language and how active we are in our ability to
listen. Tithing can be as simple as turning off your Iphone, lending
an ear, and just "being there."

Is tithing risky? The answer is YES. The hardest part of tithing
is making that initial investment. No great thing was ever
accomplished without the element of risk. In life, there are people
that do and people that wish they had done. Wouldn't you rather step
out and take the risk of rejection and be of benefit to another
person, than to have "wished" you had done something after
the fact? The answer is clear. We should step up and invest
ourselves. Take the risk!

Tithing is a personal investment of your best ten percent in
others that goes beyond the boundaries of mentorship and coaching.
It's not a lot, it's only ten percent. That small investment will
give returns that are much greater than we could ever imagine. Don't
hesitate! Make your investment in others through tithing. Thank the
people who have shared their tithes with you!
